Steam Squad - turnbased wargame, which takes place during the First World War, in an alternate universe. World War I in this universe has not become the first yet, so it's name is simply "the Great War". And it is much bigger, than real... For a variety of reasons there were only three serious players at the World Arena in 1914: - Tianxia, that have taken most of the Eastern hemisphere; - Britain with many colonies (dominions); - The Holy Roman Empire, which has won most of Europe and territories, that we call "Latin America" now. Each of these states has a chance to became a world dominator. The player tries on the role of commander of a warring states, performing specific military tasks, coming up with tactical moves, managing the soldiers and military equipment on a battlefield.
We want to talk briefly about two main power sources in the Steam Squad world, which are steam and coal.
Let's have a look at this beautiful steam driven car named "Fire Wagon". The mechanism of its work is very easy to explain. Coal dust briquettes are put into a fuel tank, where they are grounded. After a starter is used to apply an initial impulse to the car. Coal dust is injected into a combustion chamber using a nozzle. Fire is on! Finally, a piston begins to turn and the car moves!
beautiful clunky looking machine, love it!
